And it turns out that the rumors were true, and Xbox has not even shown one of its upcoming games at The Game Awards 2022, despite Sony announcing a couple of small updates regarding the additional content and new third-party games hitting the platform in future. However, the reason for the absence of Xbox at the event was not disclosed, and that part of the rumors are still not confirmed. On the other hand, according to Rand al Thor 19’s latest The Xbox Two podcast with none other than Jez Corden reveals that Xbox might be planning an exclusive showcase in early 2023 to show its upcoming first-party games. Rand al Thor on the podcast claims that two different people familiar with the matter have told him about Xbox planning or organizing an event for its games in early 2023. Rand said:
The above statements strongly suggest that Xbox might actually be cooking up something behind the scenes for the fans. Other than this statement from the industry insiders. Vice President of Xbox Games marketing at Microsoft, Aaron Greenberg, shares a clip of all the upcoming Xbox games with a quote tweet stating that ‘don’t worry you will not have to wait too long for what’s next from us.’
